A/N: The first thing I'm doing in 2019 is writing a new fan fiction rip I wish I had a life. Also this is not a Miku x Kaito story so to those that came here thinking it was I'm very sorry to disappoint you.
When I went to visit my sister in Tokyo for Christmas she wanted to go to an antique store because one of her coworkers got a vanity table at an antique store that according to her was just adorable so she wanted one too. So after lunch on my second day in Tokyo Luka, her husband Gakupo and I headed to an antique store. The place smelled old and at least 50% of the things sold there were just old dishware. The first store was a dud so we went to a second one, the second store was practically the same thing but when we got to the back there was a vanity table. It was wood and painted in a pretty blue color that had faded over time, but still I was captivated by the color. I thought this would be what she wanted but Luka started to observe it and I could tell she didn't like it very much. I started to observe it wondering what Luka didn't like about it.
"The paint is chipped and the mirror is murky, I'd have to paint it white and probably replace the mirror. With that much effort I might as well just get a new one. Yuiko said she didn't have to do anything to hers." Luka complained.
"I like the color," I said as a bent down to open the bottom drawer. When I opened the drawer inside there was a letter in a similar blue color to the drawer, if I wasn't so close to drawer I might not have noticed it. It immediately captured my attention so when Gakupo and Luka were facing away from me and talking I put the envelope in my purse.
"Let's go to one more antique store for now, Miku is gonna have to head back to the apartment to get her stuff soon," Gakupo told Luka.
"Alright," Luka said and we left the store, the letter was on my mind but I decided I'd open it up when I was on the 6 hour train ride back to Akita.
At the final antique store Luka found one with the mirror not messed up and the paint was chipped but she didn't mind because Gakupo convinced her she could use it for an opportunity to customize something how she wanted it. Gakupo stayed behind to set up a payment and shipment plan for the vanity and Luka brought me back to their apartment so I could grab my overnight bag. Gakupo met us at the station and both wished me goodbye and safe travels as I boarded.
I sat down next to a window and as quickly as a spoiled child on christmas I dug into my bag and opened the letter I had plucked (perhaps shoplifted?) from the antique drawer. The handwriting was beautiful and I smiled when I saw the sunlight hit the glitter of the gel pen and made the note shimmer like it was some magical artifact probably of the early 2000's. No more observing it's time to read this thing!
Dear Kaito,
I'm glad you didn't fail your first semester of collage! :D I can't wait for you to return next week for summer break! A new ice cream place opened up near the station, I will meet you at the station then we can go together.
While you are here we should also go shopping, I'll point things out to you and you do the same because I need to know what to get for your birthday! Point something out that I can ship to you. Last year I just treated you for ice cream, I would do the same for you this year if I could but I probably will be busy at the shop, also I'm the girl friend so I should be the one getting treated! :(
I'm not actually mad… I really love you and just want to see you again. I will come join you when my grandma passes but until then I must help my parents run the shop… This shop where we met.
I hope this letter finds you well and if it arrives after you get here then whoops! I'll just fill you in :)
With Love, Miku
I gasped when I read the last part, this letter was written by a girl with the same name as me. My first thought was that this means the vanity belonged to Kaito the boyfriend she wrote to but when I turned the envelope around there were no stamps and no address. She must have forgotten to send this. It definitely was interesting but I shoved it back into my bag and began to play on my phone. But the letter was still in the back of my head as I played Pokemon Shuffle. It was in the back of my head when my husband Dell picked me up from the station and drove us back to our apartment. It was in the back of my head as I laid on our bed, naked and struggling to go back to sleep. I decided I would bring it with me when I met up with Rin and Len for their birthday.
Finally the 27th rolled around and I met up with the twins in the afternoon. They were my classmates in college and are really the only people outside of my family and Dell that I still hang out with. For their 22nd birthday since they don't really speak with their parents anymore I offered to take them out on their birthday and pay for everything. First we went to karaoke where we song every Disney song that was on the system and the arcade where Rin was so close to getting a strawberry plush and after a lot of frustration Len pulled his hand up into the machine to grab it by it's tag, Rin and I covered his back to make sure he wasn't seen but I'm sure all of our giggling the two of us did probably made us suspicious. Finally we headed to our favorite ramen joint where Rin and Len who probably wanted to torture me order the shops most expensive ramen. When I realized that the twins were squeezing every penny out of my wallet I decided get myself the $20 tonkotsu ramen and damn was it good! As we had started to finish up our food I finally told the pair about my experience at the antique store the prior day and showed them the letter.
"Miku isn't an uncommon name but damn is it crazy that you found a letter from a girl with your same name," Len said. "Know any Kaitos?"
"Uh one of my neighbors twins is named Kaito does that count?" I said jokingly referring to the neighbor who has toddler twins named Kaito and Nagisa.
"Doesn't count," Rin said holding her hands up in an x motion. "Now that I think of it do we even know any Kaito's? Is that even a common name?"
"We went to high school with a Kaito," Len said with a shrug. But of course just knowing people named Kaito isn't a lead.
"Back on topic, this letter is still bothering me! I wanna return it to this girl and see if she's still dating Kaito, and it'd be one hell of a story to tell friends right? I met another girl named Miku and she lives on the other side of Japan and we met through a letter I found in an old drawer."
"Then you'll probably need to buy that dresser," Rin said.
"But it's was like $200 and Dell has been getting on my case lately about how I'm always wasting money on clothes and cd's, and he definitely won't be happy with how much you hellions made me spend today."
"Well Dell and you both make decent money, talk to him and then try not to buy anything excessive for a month or two to make up the difference," Rin suggested. "Plus those places usually have payment plans for their more expensive stuff right? Just set up a payment plan."
"Yeah I guess I can do that… But I definitely can't afford to take any more time off until Luka's birthday which is in a month so while that's not a long time away the vanity might be sold in between then," I said putting my head on the table in despair.
"I don't think you should look into it if it'll make your husband upset," Len said.
"Well she shouldn't bottle up her feelings Len! Good marriages require communication!" Rin said. "Maybe ask Luka if she'll buy it and send it you? You can send her the money and she can make sure it gets shipped to you." Rin suggested.
"That might actually work!" I said lifting my head off the table. "You're a genius kid!" I said rubbing the blonde girls head playfully.
"And if you need any online digging to find this Miku I'm your gal!" Rin said as she proudly puffed her chest, Rin knew her away around the internet and if you could major in internet stalking she'd have a PHD in the thing.
Shortly after that I paid the bill (Len had felt bad for me spending so much and insisted on leaving the tip himself) then we went our separate ways. God I hope I can convince Dell to let me buy this thing.
A/N: Hey I hope you guys like the first chapter of my story. I had this idea after bingeing those videos where people buy like diaries and shit off ebay. I also wanted something I guess darker? I don't know whatever happens I hope you enjoy my story! Please leave a review good or bad all is welcome here :)
Until next time~
